Asura God Takes Notice of Ao Zhan

"Eh? Strange... Where am I?"

Baby Tang San's eyes held humanlike confusion as he desperately tried to figure out where he was.

He clearly remembered that Xiao Wu, his beloved, had died. Overwhelmed by grief, his soul had reincarnated, all so he could find Xiao Wu's reincarnated soul. So, was this the world where his soul had been reborn?

Tang San's tiny eyes were filled with enormous confusion. Then, he suddenly realized that the person holding him felt incredibly familiar.

"Th-That's Dad?!" Tang San's eyes widened. This was clearly his father, the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao!

However, this Tang Hao looked very young. Blood still lingered at the corner of his mouth, and his aura was unstable. He looked as though he had just gone through a fierce battle.

A guess formed in Tang San's heart. Trembling, he looked at the swaddling cloth wrapped around him. I've been reborn! Reborn into the Douluo Continent from tens of thousands of years ago?! Is this when I was just born? Dad's injuries... were they caused by his battle with Spirit Hall's Pope, Qian Xunji? Then Mom must have already...

Tang San had more or less figured out his situation.

In his excitement, he failed to notice that his good father, Tang Hao, had a somewhat vacant look in his eyes.

Tang Hao quickly recovered, though. Looking at the little fellow in his arms, who seemed to be full of curiosity, he smiled faintly.

Tap, tap, tap...

A series of footsteps sounded, making Tang Hao immediately look toward them. Every muscle in his body tensed. If the arrival was an enemy, he could respond at once.

A handsome young man dressed in blue stepped out from the shadows of the forest.

"Who are you?!" Tang Hao shouted sternly.

Ao Zhan smiled slightly. "My name is Ao Zhan. Tang Hao, you should have heard my name before."

"Ao Zhan? The War God of Spirit Hall whose reputation has risen in recent years?" Tang Hao frowned tightly, recalling Ao Zhan's information within moments.

After all, Ao Zhan had made no effort to hide his repeated challenges against Spirit Hall bishops and elders. Thus, the major powers closely watching Spirit Hall's every move all knew of his existence.

It was just that many of them did not believe it. Someone who had only recently awakened his martial soul defeating Spirit Hall bishops and elders was simply impossible by all common sense.

Therefore, most people among the major powers believed it was false information spread by Spirit Hall. Ao Zhan might truly exist, and he might indeed be a genius, but there was no way he could be this monstrously gifted.

They believed Spirit Hall had merely done this to intimidate the major powers.

They had indeed considered killing Ao Zhan before he could grow. After all, even if the information might be false, depriving Spirit Hall of a genius would still be a good thing.

However, they later discovered that he remained in Spirit City the entire time. Successfully making a move against him would be extremely difficult, so they had stayed still, intending to strike Ao Zhan at some point in the future.

After recalling Ao Zhan's information, Tang Hao said disdainfully, "So it's you. What do you want here? Did you hear that Qian Xunji was defeated by me and come to switch allegiance to my Clear Sky Sect?"

Ao Zhan looked at Tang Hao as though he were an idiot. "Did Uncle Qian hit your head so hard that you started spouting nonsense? A pathetic little sect like your Clear Sky Sect is only worth the dogs of the Strength Clan pledging themselves to it."

"You're courting death!"

Hearing Ao Zhan insult the sect he loved, Tang Hao flew into a rage. "Brat! Don't think you can act so arrogantly before me just because you have some talent! I was a genius too, and I became a Title Douluo at such a young age!"

Boom!!!

Tang Hao released his aura, pressing it toward Ao Zhan.

Although Tang Hao was suffering severe backlash from the Asura Divine Power and the Great Sumeru Hammer, releasing Soul Power pressure was not particularly difficult. Especially since this pressure was merely at the Soul King level.

But to Ao Zhan, let alone Soul King-level pressure, even if Tang Hao unleashed all the Soul Power pressure of a Title Douluo, he would not think anything of it. Naturally, nothing happened to him.

Mockery flashed through Ao Zhan's eyes. "Tang Hao, could it be that your Title Douluo title is fake? Why does this aura feel so weak?"

Damn it! If my injuries weren't so severe, how could I let this little brat flaunt himself before me?!

Tang Hao was furious, while a stormy sea had already risen in Tang San's heart.

He had never seen a person named Ao Zhan in his previous life. When had Spirit Hall gained someone like this?

He could actually withstand the pressure of his invincible father at such a young age?!

And he had just said that the person who fought his father earlier was "Uncle Qian"?

Was that Uncle Qian Qian Xunji?

Why did he address him so intimately?

Meanwhile, in the God Realm, Asura God, who had been watching this place, wore an astonished expression.

"Isn't this the brat Rakshasa mentioned? Why is he here?"

Asura God also recalled that four days ago, when Rakshasa had come to see him, she had told him that there was a problem with the plan. Spirit Hall had gained a monstrously powerful anomaly, one suspected to have come from another world.

As for why Rakshasa God had told him about this matter, it was naturally because Rakshasa God was his woman!

Otherwise, how could Rakshasa God have plotted against Tang Chen and remained perfectly fine in the God Realm afterward?

Did they really think Asura God was made of clay?

Besides, among the Five Great God Kings, Asura God was the only one without a God King partner. Of course he could not remain single. And in the entire God Realm, only Rakshasa God possessed divine power attributes similar to his, which was why he had chosen Rakshasa God.

What Rakshasa had told him was indeed shocking news to Asura God.

However, one day in the God Realm equaled one year on the ground. Four years on the Douluo Continent amounted to only four days for Asura. It was an extremely short time, and during that period, he had to prepare for Tang San's reincarnation. Therefore, he had not yet had the time to consider how to deal with Ao Zhan.

But now, after searching everywhere to no avail, Ao Zhan had actually appeared on his own. Then he would see what this anomaly, suspected to have come from another world, was capable of!

"What are you doing here?!" Tang Hao hugged Tang San tightly in his arms, his gaze fixed firmly on Ao Zhan.

Ao Zhan rolled his wrist. "Nothing much. I just wanted to see what gave the famed genius of the Clear Sky Sect the nerve to scheme against my Spirit Hall."

"Hm?!" A flash of uncertainty crossed Tang Hao's eyes.

Does he know something?!

Had Tang Hao schemed against Spirit Hall?

Of course he had.

During the incident of Ah Yin's sacrifice, he had used Spirit Hall to force them into a desperate situation. Once it was done, Tang Hao would become a pitiful man driven into a corner by Spirit Hall, while Spirit Hall would become an overbearing and evil force.

Not to mention that he had severely injured Qian Xunji.

Although he had merely been a small pawn of Asura God in this matter, Qian Xunji had indeed been injured by him. He had also truly elevated his own reputation, as well as that of the Clear Sky Sect, by trampling Qian Xunji beneath his feet.

"Heh heh, Tang Hao, stop pretending. Everything you did was merely to make that Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast sacrifice herself to you. But perhaps you wanted to preserve your image as a good husband, or for some other reason, so you did not want to do it yourself."

"To that end, you deliberately took her, while she was pregnant, to wander around Spirit Hall territory, all to draw Spirit Hall's attention."

"Because you knew that a pregnant Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast would expose her soul beast aura even after reaching maturity. Naturally, that would attract the Title Douluo of my Spirit Hall."

"And to make this act more convincing, you even chose a barren wilderness where not a blade of grass grew as the battleground, all so she would truly fall into despair and sacrifice herself to you. Am I right?"
